Last year we got a decent refund but I still don't quite believe it...
Was your second kid born in 2012? Or is she around 3 now??
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

She was born in 2011, but we couldn't get a refund for her that year since all her childcare was paid for in cash under the table (OH HAI NSA JUST KIDDING ABOUT THAT LAST PART).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OK, my boss is going to lend me the extra money that was taken out of my paychecks, and reduce my withholding to much lower that it was last year until my withholdings are back in sync with what they should have been.
So I can pay all my bills this month and go to Tuscaloosa next week. Yay!

I'm trading naming a character in a story for a shiny corporate hotel discount. Or my eternal soul. I forget which. But yay hotel and heat tonight.

Are you dancing around singing "I've got the POWER"? I would.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I'd make very very very sure the money went to withholdings and not some caribbean vacation fund or up the accountant's nose….
this is hilarious.
tommy,
I typically do whatever withholdings I had the year previous and then I estimate my taxes and withholdings around June and do another withholding adjustment if I am going to come in too high and too low. They have Internet calculators that I can help you see if you are on track for the year in terms of withholdings.
However, in recent years, I have been too busy to be as on top of this as I was.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am really hoping I kept my too-high withholding last year but have proper withholding now at my new job, because I want the chunk of money right now, but also don't want to do it going forward. Fingers crossed!

There are no taxes being taken out of Hubby's disability, and on its own it's below the taxable level. Added with mine, though, and it kicks us over into owing territory.
